Our Professional Team creates a Destination out of a location.
Philosophy
N•Focus Design, Inc. believes that successful projects are a combination of careful planning, thoughtful design and intricate engineering detail combined into one carefully integrated process. Our team combines its experience in both public and private sector projects to the benefit of the client.
To the private development client, this experience creates a Destination out of a location. Your site has a unique identity. Our professionals are committed to the full potential in any project, starting with location and site suitability evaluations, development feasibility and site planning, land design and civil engineering, and finally the implementation and project coordination services. At any point in the development process our team can integrate into the project. Based on planning methods tailored to meet your goals, our task is to achieve the full potential for your investment. Experience in design, commitment to quality, cooperation with local government, and project management makes our team capable of outstanding results.
To the local government administration and planning agency, this experience means that we fully comprehend the accountability to the citizenry and to the public process. Your community is unique in so many ways; however, experience with tried and true public policy principles make N●Focus your resource for both conventional public policy on growth and public services as well as your resource for innovative, forward thinking concepts to create the community your leadership desires. Our belief in public service and commitment to your administration’s goals will ensure the proper professional representation in the administration of your public policy, to meet your needs.
Our Process
N•Focus Design draws its strength from the interplay of three strong perspectives on site creation.
Planning focuses on external factors and long term use. How the project relates to the area around it, the people that will be using it and the existing infrastructure can help predict issues and improve opportunities. Locations and places grow into the community around them, becoming an organic part of the lifestyle and commerce. Planning also manages project implementation, ensuring that the plans are carried out to the specifications and that all work is done with the proper quality. This level of service is largely unheard of from in our arena, and we believe the end product is a telling example of the difference our hands on approach makes.
Design makes the location a work of art, a memorable experience and a place to call home. By incorporating design through the entire project it is possible to create a site with a unified feel and charm. As all of the aspects of the project reflect a larger vision, it is possible to create a sense of wholeness to a place. The interaction with the external and existing factors, as well as the inspiration for the internal layout means that the finished site easily becomes a part of the surrounding area. Design also helps our clients realize their dream, and put it into practice. Through a charette process we help everyone understand dynamically and visually what the final product will look like. Using these techniques we can merge the expectations of our client with the reality of the site.
Engineering is grounded in reality. Every project that is planned and designed by N•Focus can be built. Our team of Civil Engineers ensures that the project meets the budget expectations and reflects the vision of the client. By overcoming the challenges unique to each piece of property, they are able to make projects happen. Engineering also coordinates and supervises all other professional services on the project. By double checking the work that is done and communicating with the supporting teams such as geotechnical, surveying and municipal governments, we ensure that there are no conflicts or misunderstandings that can set a project back or create unnecessary issues during the building phase.
Each group is active and communicating with the others during the entire process. By understanding the needs of the client, the reality of the location and a depth of background knowledge provided by each of our three perspectives, it is possible for N•Focus to provide a ‘turn-key’ service. We believe that a good project will result from collaboration with local governments. All of our designs reflect the highest quality in design, a commitment to sustainable building and a social responsibility to the people that will call our projects home. By working from the very start to prioritize those key components, and by opening a dialogue from the beginning to engage those government offices, N•Focus can guide a project through the approval process all the way to completion.
Commitment to Service
We believe that quality is a key factor in any project. N•Focus works hard to ensure the best products are delivered on time. To ensure the timely completion of projects we work with the client during the planning phase to understand all their goals and needs. This allows them to better create a budget and prepare for the upcoming phases through completion.
